FYI....RED CROSS (T215-1) checklist......UPDATED

[tedzan]

Thanks very much for that info regarding Frank Smith.

So, Smith's T215-2 card identifies him with Montreal (Eastern Lge). I am not 100% positive, but I think Smith's T215-1 card identifies
him with Cincinnati.
Smith was acquired by Cinci on May 11, 1911. This fact brings me to my theory, in which I think that the 96 cards in the RED CROSS
set were printed in the form of two 48-card series. The 1st in 1910, which the 48 cards' team captions are identical to those of their
T206 captions.

The 2nd series of 48 cards were printed & issued in the Spring of 1912. This series of cards reflect 1910, 1911 and early 1912 trades.
Your T215-1 Huggins (portrait) must of been in this 2nd series....as, were the following (to name a few)......

Mike Donlin (bat)......Pittsburg (traded Feb 17, 1912)
Clark Griffith (bat)....Washington (traded in Feb 1912)
Hartsel...................Toledo (acquired by Toledo in Dec 1911)
Buck Herzog............New York, NL (traded July 22, 1911)
Harry McIntyre.........Chicago, NL (traded April 13, 1910)
Frank Smith.............Cincinnati (traded May 11, 1911)
